What to put in a demo day report.
Funders judge a demo day on what happened after it, so this guide lists the numbers worth reporting, and MyStartupValley Events builds that report from the event in your own Excel format.
Updated by the MyStartupValley team.
How it works
Two sides, one link. Scroll through the steps; the real screen changes beside them.
You, the organiser
Where both sides meet
Invite founders and investors who fit your event from MSV Find. Founders see how many investors here fit their sector and stage. Investor names stay private until both sides agree.
Founders, investors and mentors
What to report
Registrations
Total, by role, founders by sector and by source, so funders see who the event reached.
Attendance
Checked in, no-shows, walk-ins, people who said they could not come, and who came by role.
Demo day results
Startups pitched, startups accepted, the average jury score out of 10, scores by startup and the jury feedback notes.
Meetings and networking
Meeting requests, meetings set and details swapped: the part of the day that leads to funding.
Feedback and outcomes
Attendee feedback with an average rating out of 5, and founder answers at 30 and 90 days.

- Add your notesTwo or three lines on what worked and what you will change make the numbers readable.
- Export in your own formatExport the report, or upload your own Excel format, for example the one your DST or IIC programme asks for.
- Report again at 30 and 90 daysFounder answers at 30 and 90 days show what the demo day led to, which is what funders ask about next.
Questions.
Is there a DST or IIC report template?
MyStartupValley Events has no built-in DST or IIC format. Export the report, or upload your own Excel format, for example the one your programme asks for, and add your notes.
Which numbers matter most to funders?
Meetings set and founder outcomes at 30 and 90 days, next to attendance. A headcount shows reach; meetings and outcomes show results.
Can I add my own notes?
Yes. Pick the sections, set the date range and add notes before you export.
